The Amazing Spider-Man dropped in on hundreds of fans on Monday. Sony Pictures teased the latest incarnation of the web-slinging superhero at preview events held on Monday at movie theatres in 13 cities spanning the globe.
The event began with the debut of the 3D full-length Amazing Spider-Man trailer, which featured footage of Andrew Garfield as a charmingly awkward Peter Parker being bullied at school, testing out his new web-slinging gadgets and battling the villainous Lizard high above New York.
"I think there are a lot of things from the Spider-Man canon that haven't yet been explored cinematically," said director Marc Webb in Los Angeles.
After the cast addressed fans, Webb unveiled extended 2D footage from the film peppered with music from the Rolling Stones and Coldplay.
The scenes included Parker asking Stacey out on a date, Spider-Man humorously blasting a car thief with webs and the one-armed Dr Connors telling Parker that "your father and I were going to change the lives of millions".
